Head of IT and Computing

Are you an innovative Head of IT and Computing looking to lead and develop all aspects of E Learning, the Computing Curriculum and Digital Technology across the school? Can you inspire, educate and enthuse all members of the St Hugh’s community to work positively with technology for the benefit of everyone?

We are offering the opportunity for you to create a clearly defined digital strategy and work with third party suppliers to develop and implement that strategy across the school.

St Hugh’s has a well-developed IT infrastructure with upgraded fibre optic-connectivity and wi-fi network that supports 250 client devices. The school uses Office 365 to support teaching and administration and has recently migrated all data to Teams. We use iSAMS as the principle MIS but we are constantly looking to adapt and improve integration for the benefit of all stakeholders.

The school educates 350 girls and boys between the ages of 3 and 13 and is situated on a beautiful green campus of 40 acres in the South Oxfordshire countryside, only 25 minutes from Central Oxford. 

At St Hugh's we aim to give all our children academic and pastoral excellence in a friendly environment in which each child can discover what they are good at and, therefore, thrive and gain confidence in themselves. 

We offer excellent benefits, including a competitive salary on our own salary scale with scope for progression, an outstanding working environment in our beautiful estate with easy access to transport links and being part of our vibrant and supportive community. We offer free car parking, free meals, a discount on School fees and the use of our sporting and gym facilities.
